The tower is on the steps

The repair area and construction site are not always level. When the place for repair work is level, such as the floor in a workshop, you can use a regular mobile scaffold. But sometimes it is necessary to perform high-altitude work on uneven terrain:

• Paint the ceiling and walls on a flight of stairs;
• Repair the entrance canopy;
• Replace the lamps in the auditorium, etc.

For these working conditions, special means for access to heights are needed that have the function of "flights of stairs". Among the ladders suitable for such conditions is a telescopic ladder, in which one section can be shorter and the other - longer. But is there such a scaffold that could be installed on steps and curbs?

We answer in the affirmative - there is such a scaffold that can be installed on steps!

VIRASTAR produces special additional sections that allow the use of scaffolds on flights of stairs. The lower section with ties and support shoes is designed for the OPTIMA 1.2x2.0 m scaffold tower and the COMPACT 0.8x1.7 m scaffold tower.

The principle of installing a special kit for a scaffold tower on flights of stairs is simple:

• A low-height section is installed under the scaffold tower frame;
• Support heels (shoes) are installed below;
• The section is attached to the dumbbells located at the bottom of the scaffold tower with ties.

The kit for installation on steps is not available for every Virastar scaffold tower, but for the following models:

• VIRASTAR COMPACT scaffold tower, 0.8 m wide;
• VIRASTAR OPTIMA scaffold tower, 1.2 m wide.

The height of the additional section will allow one edge of the scaffold tower to be placed 3 steps lower.

When installing a ladder kit on a scaffold tower, you should ensure that the working platform is in a horizontal position. Its inclined position is dangerous for workers and can cause the tool to fall and slip.

Remember that it is unacceptable to level the scaffold tower using stones, bricks, sticks, board trimmings and other objects.

For repairing a flight of stairs, the VIRASTAR COMPACT scaffold tower with a ladder kit, which includes a frame, 2 short ties and 2 heels, is suitable for you. The scaffold tower with a ladder kit is small in size and has an optimal price.
